Business Friends & Neighbor's Awards

Simplicity Credit Union has rolled out a brand new award to honor our local friends and neighbors! Each branch chose one business with the same community spirit as Simplicity and presented them with a certificate as a sign of our appreciation. Take a look at these amazing businesses and learn why they were chosen by their favorite Simplicity CU branch.

Fire-Lite – Neenah, WI

Fire-Lite has been a Neenah staple and has recently celebrated their 25th anniversary in July 2023. Laura and Matt are a pleasure to be around especially when they visit our Neenah branch. They embraced our staff after the merger with CONE Credit Union and always have a smile on their face and bring great conversation to our team and members.

They show integrity each time they bring deposits in, dependability through their loyalty and investments with our Neenah team, and exceptional cooperation and communication with their customers and community. Having a place where community members can meet, play, socialize, and being a great business to work with makes them the ideal recipient of such an award.

Congratulations, Fire-Lite!

Polito’s Pizza – Stevens Point, WI

It’s hard to decide where to begin when you talk about Sam & Marianne from Polito’s Pizza. The impact they have on the communities they serve is boundless. They are always first to reach out whenever there is a fundraising event, and even spontaneously show up with pizza for our staff and members! When we think of Sam & Marianne, they immediately reflect Simplicity’s Core Values.

They are dependable in sponsoring events, even filling our crazy order when Senator Testin came to SPASH. They are leaders in taking care of their staff during COVID and realized that buying into their staff is the key to a successful business. They are cooperative as can be and are always willing to jump in and help whenever and wherever they can.

Polito’s has not only been a member with us for many years, but has been a close friend for just as long. Congratulations to Marianne, Sam, and their entire Polito’s team!

Simply Creative – Neillsville, WI

Jodi at Simply Creative has given the Neillsville community somewhere to go to express themselves and be a gathering space for all. Jodi’s neighbors notice all she does to help attract visitors to not just her downtown business, but others around her as well. Offering creative classes of all kinds, for all ages is a big reason folks keep coming back. You can tell Jodi has a passion for painting and crafting each time you walk into Simply Creative. Many more great words could be said about Simply Creative, but we hope you see our appreciation for you as others do for your business.

Congratulations, Simply Creative!

Melody Gardens – Marshfield, WI

The impact Melody Gardens has had on our community for the past 50 years is immeasurable. Not only have you created a positive entertainment outlet for many generations, but the dedication to our community with programs like Toys for Tots makes a difference in countless lives! We at Simplicity Credit Union have recognized and admire that impact. We are honored to present them with Marshfield’s Member Friends and Neighbors Award. 

And if you didn’t catch it – this is Melody Garden’s 50-year anniversary!

Congratulations to Dennis, Margie, and their entire Melody Gardens staff!
